on my body the brand-marks of Jesus

This interview is required reading. You might not be familiar with Korn, but it's not worth linking to their site. Their music appeals to angry youth, that's all you need to know. But at one time, they were as big as any band on the planet, and so leaving them and leaving that scene is a greater test than most ordinary people face. And then to read the ridicule he faced from friends and peers and fans -- the Lord promises persecution and the presence of mockers, but few face it to the degree that Welch has.

I love how he had a few tattoos before he was a believer, but that once he became a believer he actually got a whole bunch more. Brian, you are indeed marked -- marked by the Lord as a child of His, destined to see Him for all eternity.
